About this opportunity

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center requires Very Long Baseline Interferometry support services including coordination of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry Coordinating Center, coordination of VLBI observing sessions as the CORE Operation Center, VLBI data processing and analysis, VLBI research and development, and VLBI software development support. Interested parties may submit capabilities by December 17, 2021 solely for the purpose of determining whether acquisition on a sole source basis from incumbent NVI, Inc. is appropriate under the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) and FAR 6.302-1.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates services will be acquired under NAICS 541715 and PSC D302 from incumbent NVI, Inc. on a sole source basis for an unknown value and period of performance to provide ongoing VLBI support services to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
